If you find that you do not want an item anymore, return that item to one of our drop boxes, located at the front and rear of the main library building and Bear Creek, Little Traverse, Resort, and Springvale Township Halls. Please return any Library of Things items directly to a librarian on the second floor.
Pick up your Library materials anytime using our 24/7 Pickup Lockers. You can find our lockers in the indoor entryway at our east entrance off Mitchell Street.
